This might be the reward for new fishing dailies, as in the Old Man in the Sea

Fish Fellreed tells you about Old Man Thistle, so I guess it is a Tillers related thing.

Comment by TheStatman

Listening to Fish Fellreed's story, she talks about a lost map, in the database files is Old Map which is found somewhere and somehow in Valley of the Four Winds which starts a quest. It is likely that the Map quest will lead to getting this quest and going into the blocked off cave in the North of the zone.

I stumbled on the cave earlier in the day while looking for dark soil piles and wondered what purpose it served. Now I know. Felt like I was playing old school Zelda games again. :D

While I was inside the cave making my way through, another player rushed past and got to the objective first. I was still able to get quest completion and get my reward without issue once I got there, so no worries about despawning/respawning timers.

Edit: Must add though. If you die inside the cave entrance due to foolish overpulling and rez outside the cave, you can't get back inside as it reseals itself. I had to drop the quest and fly back over to Fish to pick it up again.

I'm very shaky on these big quest rewards. They've been adding a lot of these in Mists, and honestly, my first instinct when I open something and get seven valuable gems isn't to rejoice... I feel a little ill. Arguably l.90 is just too high to farm toons for this stuff, but I'm still wary of bots.

Don't get me wrong; if you have a dozen alts who are actually 90s, I'm not saying you don't deserve the big rewards. Not at all. They just never really put this kind of thing in before without the stuff being soulbound. It has me worried.

One CAN enter the cave before, though. The entrance is not phased: Another player opened it, and I was able to get to the chest, however, couldn't open / loot yet, since not BestFriend with all TIllers.

I managed to get the achievement for this, but it wasnt going like I thought it would.

After I got the quest to go into the cave I was flying towards the entrance of the cave but it was blocked with stones and I couldnt enter the cave at all. After using an little trick I managed to get into the cave anyway.

What you should be doing is simple, just aggro an Mob Die infront of the stones Spiritwalk paste the stones and release this way youll get into the cave to finish your quest and the achievement.

Good luck

I was able to loot the chest of all the gems but the Old Man Thistle's Treasure box is still empty in my inventory. The icon is pretty, though!

Comment by Kanuton

Not sure what happened but today, when I got the quest and went into and through the cave, the treasure chest still had the greyed out question mark. No matter how many spiders I killed plus the boss spider next to the chest.

These are the coordinates for the 4 people you have to speak with for first quest from Fish Felreed. 53.9, 44.2...55.2, 47.4.... inside same hut as nana mudclaw, upstairs, 54.73, 47.02, in hut 56.2, 45.34... when you finish the quest, you have to find a cave entrance at halfhill and go inside to turn in.

I had an empty one of these left in my bag after claiming the treasure. When I tried to open it again after the 5.3 update, I got 2 things from it and then it went away. i got a Bag of Songbell Seeds and a Bag of Magebulb Seeds. Too bad I destroyed them on my other 2 chars after claiming the treasure.
